Learn About the New AWS Government Competency

We continuously hear from customers about the different areas in which they’d like help identifying the right AWS Partner Network (APN) Partners to help address their business needs on AWS. The AWS Competency Program is one of our most effective avenues to help customers connect with APN Partners who’ve demonstrated proven success in specialized solution areas on AWS.

Today, we’re launching the AWS Government Competency, as well as the new AWS GovCloud (US) Skill Program, to help government customers identify high-quality, trusted APN Partners that have demonstrated technical proficiency and proven success in managing government workloads.

The AWS Cloud provides scalable, cost-efficient solutions for governments around the world. Our cloud services can be employed to meet mandates, reduce costs, drive efficiencies, and increase innovation across civilian agencies, national defense and intelligence communities, and state and local governments.
